Sure, I stayed in a very out of the way lodge on the bank of the Amazon in Colombia. A number of animals lived there, cats, dogs, a caiman, a boa constrictor and two squirrel monkeys that were free to come and go. Initially they would just come to steal the food that was put out for the cats and dogs but in time, they would hang out and the squirrel monkeys loved to play with the kittens!

Very sweet! Can you tell us the story here? Is the spider monkey a pet or being rehabilitated?
